Learning Activities

Chapter 2

In Class

  1. With your neighbour discuss and agree on what you consider to be three things that might motivate people to become more active.
  2. Working individually, each person might write down what they think are the 4 most important barriers to physical activity. Then discuss your list with one other person and agree the 2 most important barriers (you must reach agreement). Then merge with another pair to create a group of 4. Your group must now agree on the one most important barrier and say why.

Out of Class

Find a feature in local or national media (newspaper, magazine, TV, radio) that is centred on physical activity.

  1. What can you glean from this feature on a) motives for being physically active, and b) barriers to being physically active?
  2. How consistent are these ‘lay’ views with data reported in Chapter 1?
